it makes sense, people in the real life are crazy as well

I originally thought she was going to burn the keep but then started roasting civilians.
What is this bells shit? She doesn't like bells? idr that
Kevin Rivera
Yeah same here. Got quite chocked, what a slut she is
Ryan Howard
Mad Dany is CUTE
Jack Hall
never seen this show, can someone explain how she bypassed all those balistas that rekt her dragon before?
Joshua Bailey
It makes sense because she's a woman
Logan Miller
>couldve sent Arya to kill Cersei and not killed a single innocent soul >Arya was even planning to do it anyway >Instead its never even discussed as an option
I gave DnD way too much credit. I thought Arya would disguise herself as Jaime and Bronn would kill Arya/Jaime for Cersei's reward. That way they couldnt use the super assassin.
Connor Bennett
when shes riding on it, it's agility stat is boosted. its in the books
Yeah, I don't get it either, it's almost like she went mad. Maybe we should call her the Mad Queen, haha
Isaac Sullivan
>This is impossible by the laws of reality Nigger what the fuck are you talking about? She knows she's losing control. With the Lannisters' surrender this was purely a win for John. He'd have walked right into the keep, took Cersei prisoner, and delivered the bitch straight to Danaerys' feet. One more credit in John's bucket for King of Westeros.
She couldn't handle it. She couldn't handle the power slipping through her fingers. She's a fucking dragon. Power doesn't slip through her fingers.
I mean for Christ's sake dude dragons have always been an allegory for a tyrannical monarch. Where the fuck have you been?
thats it? she just had the dragon flame them? seems like a really lazy way to kill off the dragon killing weapons.
James Howard
Wtf are you talking about, she's fugly. and she has weird nips.

Aaron Bell

Logan Carter
She's a crazy Targ. I'm sorry if you're upset. Basically it had to go this way. How boring would it be if they just ended the logical way; Dany conquers Westeros and institutes a period of peace, while making incest babies with her nephew?
Instead we got maximum entertainment. The big bad is not Cersei; it's Dany and the sheer destructive force of her dragon.
Caleb Russell
she was my waifu guys what happen.Im literally heartbroken she is perfect.
>a woman who has spent her entire life pushing herself toward this moment - capturing King's Landing, taking the Iron Throne as her own, and ruling Westeros - only to find after all the hardships and sacrifices that she has lost the people that mattered most to her and lost the love and affection of the people she sought to rule finds her victory to be bittersweet and unsatisfying and takes her infuriation out on the populace >makes no sense

They had an idea of how this would go, and it did not include Dany going full medieval on the populace.
So now Dany, a woman, is the villain, and Cersei, a woman, is a sympathetic character, if not fully a victim.
Henry Morris
This kind of behaviour enables thots.
David Campbell
i cant love a retarded bitch knowing she is commited mass genocide. She could have you know just not done that.
Colton White
I would rather it be written as the tragedy of dany. she wins but doesnt destroy the city. yet she realizes she's alone. She sits on the throne but no one really cares for her. Tyrion was conspiring with varys. the entire north doesnt even respect her for saving their lives. Jon only follows her because he doesnt want to break his allegience of her being his queen otherwise hes going back to the north. Jorah is dead. Missandei is dead. All her loyal protectors are gone and no one recognizes all the good she did.
Parker Butler
Perhaps she internalized all that and did what a bipolar person with PTSD might do: lose control and lash out.
Brandon Barnes
This is jewish programming, D&D wants to desentisize you to mass killing of civilians. They expected the audience to scream YASS QUEEN.

Jackson Martinez
>nobody likes me anymore anyways Sansa ensured she feel this way. Dany was perfectly stable, or at least stable enough, when she killed the Tarly's. She felt like the people of Westeros would welcome her, and for the most part they did. All but Sansa. Sansa had a way of talking back to her without outright disrespecting her, a way of insulting her without forcing her hand. Sansa gave Dany a taste of what the simpler Essosfolk could only attempt and what the arrogant Viserys couldn't fathom: social manipulation and underhanded tactics. After getting blown away with a cold look and a word, Dany stopped trusting anyone at all, and grew paranoid. Like a seed, Sansa's interactions consumed her mind, and by the time she realized that even destiny itself could betray her with the knowledge that Jon was the actual Targaryen heir, the cracks just kept spreading, and the mistrust that Sansa planted continued validating itself until Euron killed her dragon and Cersei chopped off Missandei's head. Littlefinger would've been proud.
She wants to rule with fear, she certainly installed it in the people.
Owen Hall
>They had an idea of how this would go, and it did not include Dany going full medieval on the populace. Then they haven't been watching the show. One of her first acts as a ruler in Essos was to crucify thousands of people.

Liam Richardson
What is retarded is for even one of those to hit something moving in the air when turning them is already a hassle. What is even more retarded is hitting a dragon from afar thrice. And what is even more retarded then that is reloading the ballistas in a few seconds.
Camden Carter
>implying she's not the one that does the penetrating
I can't. I have to admit it Yea Forums. Ever since my girlfriend started training my ass for her use I've felt more submissive than I ever thought possible. And today, after watching Khaleesi burn all those women and children and MEN in spite of everyone else, all i wanted to do was beg her to rip me open and fuck me until I could not walk unassisted anymore. I want to be ravaged by my Queen Daenerys Stormborn, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons and worship her until my dying day. I wish I could have her inside me, pinning me down and making me hers while I am unable to resist as my body betrays me into her eternal service. I want to give her my body and my soul to destroy as she sees fit. I want her to rule the seven kingdoms as I prepare my body in whatever way she wishes it to be so she can use me to relieve stress whenever she desires. I want this so bad and I can't take it anymore. Why live when I can't have this.
Oh, you only think you're prepared for what happens next.
Chase Ward
it didnt necessarily say in that order, only that they ate the horses first before turning on the others.
Hunter Fisher
gross.
Asher Phillips

He's not dead. Screencap this, littlefinger will sit on the iron throne, OR he will be alive, most of the cast of mains will die, and he will get rid of the ruling class, and turn westeros into a democracy (or socialist/communist, considering SJW bullshit)
Jose Cook
didnt she kill a shitload of innocent nobles before?
Eli Taylor
I don't know who's the blame. Who is responsible for a scene that is 80% CGI?
The dragon kill in the last episode was such a fucking fluke; this episode was much better in showing how OP a dragon is, and acknowledging basic realities like what a force multiplier a dragon is. The defenses are absolutely nothing in comparision. It's no wonder the Targaryens conquered six of seven kingdoms in rapid succession.

She's a woman. This is just how they are. The whole episode is about women being crazy fucks. Cersei, Dany, Even Arya gets a bunch of people killed, raped, and even Pompei'd.
it's glorious. I have no idea what the fuck the show creators are doing anymore.
Kevin Morgan
If they wanted the audience to scream YASS QUEEN they wouldn't kill her off the next episode or make the moral of the story "tyranny is bad, and women can become tyrants too".

John Brown
Not white ones, no.
Gabriel Cooper
D&D are hacks and the show sucks....BUT Dany was never a good ruler, she was balancing a kind heart with mad violent tendencies that were only held back by her friends and the love of the people and her lover. She had none of that anymore, nothing to hold back the dragon inside her, she realized that she wanted an excuse and didn’t want them to surrender, she won but knew she’d never be loved, she is not loved in westeros, she is not a breaker of chains here or a savior, people know about Jon’s claim and they love him more, she realized she was alone, she knew her reign is sustained by force alone and her dragons, two of which are dead, only fear is left so she used it and now no one will defy her. The show rushed her madness and played up the fan service so that’s why it’s hard to believe but “some” of the groundwork was there, season 2 and 4 foreshadowed this through two visions and I have no doubt that this had GRRM’s hand in it.
She's hotter by orders of magnitude with that teary eyed insanity look. Goddamn if you could have that look in bed while she's horny you'd have one wild ride.
Logan Miller
>council only has men twitter will be SEETHING
Jace Robinson
I actually think the episode had some good moments. Daenerys' madness setting in sequence, where you see her seething while on her dragon, is pretty good. It's one of the few times I've bought Clarke as an actress actually inhabiting a character.
I think this whole razing of the city in grief and anger, because she feels alone in a foreign country, which is ironically her original home, after her most trusted advisers either died or betrayed her and she's on the brink of losing the purpose that she's been focused on nearly her whole life because of Jon's surprise heritage is actually pretty good material to mine. Unfortunately, it's built up really poorly and it being the penultimate episode is fucking awful. I remember laughing very loudly at the showrunners saying, "the good guys are acting like the bad guys" and this happens for nearly the entire runtime of the second-to-last episode. This is more like a midseason twist that the major characters deal with the fallout of and becomes a formative experience for them as they move to the finish line. It being so close to the show's end, which will probably have some measure of epilogue, is fucking insanely bad pacing.
Most of the characters have been ruined by their arc being they have no arc, but Dany's was the closest to being well done.
Jayden Bell

Carter Smith

Hudson Morales
In the books she often alludes to a house that her and Visersys lived in when they were young (the house with the red door). Daenarys and Cersei are basically mirror arcs of women seeking power - they're women for a reason. They feel perpetually insecure because they have desires but aren't capable of physically exacting themselves in a world dominated by killers except by proxy of their subjects (it's Varys' whole thing about power residing where men believe it resides).
The arc actually works really well, because Daenarys knows that the next logical step towards security - the security she remembers as home, the feeling of safety which is just an idea in her mind rather than actual place (Renly gives a speech to Stannis about this, how he can't hold the kingdoms because he doesn't have any friends, only subjects).
So Daenarys has lost Khal Drogo, she's lost her confidant in Missandei, she's lost Jorah, and Tyrion has just told her that Varys has betrayed her out of a sincere desire for what is best (and tacitly, this shows her that Tyrion has his doubts about her). When Jon refuses her, she knows she has no one left. Just a dragon. When the bell tolls, she realizes she's won, but she still doesn't feel safe, and at bottom what you have is a frightened little girl thrashing at a world that she sees as fundamentally hostile to her.
Cersei is the other side of the coin - she's insecure because she knows her fate has already been written (or would have been if dabid had a memory span longer than a season). Where Daeny's insecurity and raw power led her towards mass murder, Cersei is someone we have seen as an absolute power that is now delusional (hence why she stays in the keep even after Qyborn tells her they have to leave). We see her insecurity in needing figures like Jaime, Gregor, and Euron. At the end, she is powerless, and despairs. It was all an act. A facade. And like with Daeny, we see Cersei is just a scared little girl.
Christian Martinez

Thomas Myers
You don't builkd up a YASS QUEEN for 8 seasons only to say she was bad in the last episode. Tony Montana dies in the last minute of Scarface, but guess what most people take of him? That he started selling hot dogs on the streets and became filthy rich by selling drug and also took the bosses wife. That's how programming works.

>... >enemy rings a bell so that you'll spare them in the last moment :^)
emotionally everyone else would feel the exact same way
logically this decision doesn't make much sense but in her defense all her advisers are dead except for tyrion (who has made nothing but mistakes against her best interest by a lack of ruthlessness and she probably knows at this point he freed jamie) and she's had a lifetime of experience where showing mercy has ALWAYS backfired and being ruthless has ALWAYS succeeded.
also she realized that her only way to maintain power is through fear and the north is already plotting revolution. everyone loves jon too much and everyone knows the throne is his by right so she has to make a display of strength to claim what isn't hers or best for the kingdoms objectively even though we all know how this will end for her
she should give the kingdoms to jon but now she knows she wouldn't even be queen. he's already made decisions against her after she begged him not to, even though she's his pledged queen. without absolute faith in him i don't see how she could hand him the keys
Brody Rivera

Dany dies alone and everyone will remember her as the mad queen even though everyone wouldve been dead if she didnt help in the long night.

Jacob Sanders
They skipped a lot of details like that from the books, like the fact she destabilized regions and slaves ended up worse than they were because their masters let them go. In other places the roles only swapped places.
Not including details like this is why the danyfags who've only watched the show are seething now, they didn't have the full picture
Gabriel Wood
The reviewer expressed that opinion though.
Ethan Gray

Christopher Hill
>this isnt bittersweet this is just depressing Expectations: Subverted
Dany did exactly fuck-all in the Long Night besides burn about 50 zombies, fall off her dragon, and get Jorah killed. Arya was the hero of Long Night, as stupid as that is. Tell him that. He wrote the review that said "I liked everything about it, but I'm a danyfag so it sucks".

David Parker
>>frees slaves and liberates everyone in essos >>promises to not be like her dad >>turns into her dad last second for no reason
There is nobody to free in Westeros. She is nothing but an invader there and nobody wants her. The situation is completely different. She ran out of convenient moral excuses and the advisors that controlled her in the past are gone. She is working in a completely different moral landscape and had zero way to reconcile her self-image of benevolence with her goal of forcing the unwelcoming Westerosi to submit.

And even that guy's better than the fag who didn't like the episode because it was too icky for him.
They got exactly what they wanted and are mad about it. It's beautiful. These faggots have no idea what they want. For awhile I thought maybe it was because they also read the leaks, but now I'm starting to realize that they're just that stupid.
Christopher Cruz
Without reading his entire review, which is wrong of me, I get what he means by "it felt so hollow to me, the narrative's stakes entirely obliterated, once Daenerys made her move."
The narrative stakes going into the episode are: >Can the exhausted and depleted forces of Dany and the North beat the treacherous Cersei dug in at King's Landing? >How will Dany and Jon resolve their conflicting and yet seemingly equal claims for the Iron Throne?
Those are the two big conflicts that the story has built itself up to, but once the episode gets going, Dany single-handedly kills like the entire defending army and all of its defenses with one dragon in the span of about 3 minutes and then they have Dany go completely overboard lunatic crazy murdering swathes of random civilians for no real reason so that there's no doubt that she shouldn't rule. It kind of shatters all the story's tension and even if there weren't leaks about, you could guess how the last episode goes because it's been railroaded to an obvious conclusion and all major conflicts simplified to crayon drawings.

>Not really. Defending the innocent and civilians was the only reason she behaved brutally in the previous seasons.
It's completely different now. She is going for her final goal but it's antithetical to "liberating" or saving people. She is not wanted there and is trying to force the people to submit. Also her advisors are either dead or disgrace and they were the thing keeping her on the rails. She has no moral high ground and everything that has happened has shown her that she has no chance at ruling through love.

That's a broadhead, but made in fantasy style, and utterly just hard to make, while providing no additional value. The point of those arrows is for hunting and shooting unarmored targets, at least when it comes to bows and crossbows. Generally on a ballista it would make little sense to use it, as the bolt is so huge that any penetration is fatal and you don't need a large surface area to cause more bleeding.

Everyone in westeros seems to be a douche lately, she held herself from attacking kings landing since last season because muh innocent people and that shit made her lose a couple battles during last season and a dragon in this one, not to mention she gave her army and another dragon to save everyone (please ignore the stupid circumstances surrounding this fact) but nobody even said thank you, instead the take her for a crazy woman for demanding the throne she openly planned to take since the very start.
Really, fuck everyone in that show, I would have burnt more stuff with less provocation.
Joshua Watson
So only writers and filmmakers should judge? then they should screen these shows only to writers then
Zachary Miller
Wow she's the smartest person in the show
Joseph Hall
Didn't she clearly say "fear it is" meaning she intends to terrorize the fuckers instead of gaining their love. It's as Viserys said. Who can rule without love or fear?
You're a fucking idiot or did you not listen to the explanation after the show?
She has lost everything and everyone. She stared at the red keep pissed the fuck off for her family. Second she burned everyone down because she knew they wouldn't want to side with her knowing fucking full well that Jon is the favorite she said herself in the fucking episode or "do you not make sense"?
Cameron Collins
>lost jorah, her father figure >lost jon, her only lover since drogo >lost missandei, her best friend and assistant in the span of two episodes.
The victory means jack shit. It's hollow. She won't get them back, so it's time for everyone else to know how she feels.

I'd actually like the sack of King's Landing if they just murdered the Lannister men while yelling "the north members" and then obliterating the keep instead of scorching randoms on the streets. But of course when a dumb dirty jew is in charge of the script it turns into trash like their entire misbegotten race
Jackson Ortiz
It was a triumph of her will.
Christian Myers
The show just got progressively dumber. All the subtlety of the first 4 season has evaporated. The plot points and character arcs are adequate but their execution turned into schmaltz. Too much money and not enough heart.
Daniel Gray
the greenscreen is so bad on this show, takes me out of it more than anything sometimes
Xavier Ross
Plus the soviet union survived way past his death. If anything it collapsed the moment they loosened up.
Colton Rivera
Arya kills Dany, screencap this.
Robert Gomez
She can make another. You literally see the Lanister army throwing down their swords.
So how is it that dragon fire can immediately demolish any and all structure? Even walls immediately crumble at the touch of dragon fire. How does this go with the place (name escapes me) where their structures are strengthened by dragon fire--as if being scorched by dragon fire actually made their walls stronger.
Adam Gomez
Based anime logic.
Anthony Morales
They conquered the seven kingdoms because in the books George is actually grounded in reality and shows that whoever tried to munster an army got scorched in the field. The Dhornish won by not being there to get conquered.
>Tywin sends The Mountain and a bunch of Lannister men to rape and pillage the Riverlands >Yay Tywin
>Daenerys executes two men who refused to bend the knee and turned down their other living options >WTF DANY IS MAD QUEEN
>Tywin completely annihilates House Reyne >Yay Tywin
>Daenerys executes an adviser who betrayed her and was conspiring to kill her and support Jon >WTF DANY IS MAD QUEEN
Blake Ramirez
the direction of this tv show is fucking stupid thats why
Kevin Garcia
>naruto kills pain D&D are such hacks
Lincoln Walker
Typical hackery. The show is over, let's burn everything to the ground.
Carter Martinez
Yup, not to mention the entire Ghis culture is grounded in slavery and predates even Valyria. Imagine aliens landing on Earth right now and demanding we let niggers rule the entire world, it would stop existing in approximately 48 hours.
Brandon Edwards
Dragon fire acts like JDAMs read the books
Justin Butler
*can also have the reversed effect
Nicholas Rivera
this bran in the final scene revelaing he was after the throne the entire time and was evil would be much better
Blake Jones
Next episode: only 17% of King's Landong is destroyed and the people like Dany
Justin Baker
>posts her body double mate emilia has incredible tits though
I don't really understand her reason for going nuclear in the particular circumstance. The only thing I can think of is that she didn't feel the result of the attack wasn't the appropriate level of punishment?
I'm assuming the writers wanted it to be a moment where Dany decides to stop holding back and "be a dragon"? Since that's been alluded to a few times before. But it doesn't make much sense when she won already. The battle should have been a toss-up, with a Lannister victory possible. The civvies getting in the way of the fighting and preventing her from using Drogon and swinging things in her favor. Do a smug close-up of Cersei. Queue the crazy-eyed Dany scene. She decides to start attacking to secure victory, roasting innocents as collateral damage. From there she loses control and goes nuclear.
Isaiah Diaz
stupid fucking showfag
Carter Moore
sauce on that?
Gavin Gray
>why is this woman who has clearly gone mad not thinking rationally?
Cooper Watson
This would've been better. Whenever Dany has shown her "madness" earlier, it was also tactical to gain the upper hand. For this time, it made no sense whatsoever.
Jonathan Davis
holy shit
Noah Russell
Took too long to surrender so now everyone gotta pay for cersei's moves. They did it only after their forces were destroyed. Dany crucified a bunch of slave holders. There was no indication that dany wouldnt fuck kings landing up b/c nobody is technically a slave in the capital.
Samuel Stewart
>reveal is a Kaiser Sose twist that Bran was possessed by Bloodraven >Everything has been his design since Bran allowed him to overwrite his mind >Bran is dead, or the person we knew him as, and has been for a while
Nolan Howard
>makes no sense Yes, that's what mad means
Andrew Gray
she doesnt trust Tyrion, this is the same circumstances where Tywin betrayed the mad king also shes mad as fuck and just wants to burn anybody who wont bow to her at that moment Its unironically a well written episode
Lincoln Cooper
>Why
>Let it be fear >Everyone close to her has betrayed her >Death of that slave woman
Blake Diaz
That's not actually her but her body is close to 10/10 in S1
Isaiah Morgan
or, you know, Daenerys just proved she is as horrible a ruler as the most evil of the Lannisters
Love it. The bitch went fucking crazy just like her dad. It was obviously coming but I like how they made her just kinda snap.
Alexander Brooks
If it was so easy why didn't Dany just crush the Lannisters when she first came to Westeros and then head North to deal with the white walkers afterward? She pretty much soloed the fucking battle.
Kevin Perez
If anything it was more realistic this time. There's no way those balistas can hit a fast-flying target like a dragon IRL.
Leo Jackson
I laughed when I saw the clip. It's fucking ridiculous. It's like they're spitting nukes.
Levi Perry
no wrinkles, softer jawline, better complexion
basically she looks younger, healthier, and more fertile
Zachary White
Pretty sure dany is /ourgirl/ more than sansa would be
Josiah Foster
What fucking show has he watched so far?
Logan Sullivan
That's like a bad 90's fake.
Gabriel Miller
>Female makes stupid choice due to having too much power and emotions >Ends up hated by everyone and ended by the man who should be her kinga Hah, it's funny because it's true she's even a coal burner.
Bentley Flores
Sansa is the worst character on the show and I can't fathom how could anyone want her on the throne or alive for that matter.
Grayson James
Secret plot twist is that Drogon just went absolutely apeshit and wouldn't stop. She had no way to stop it. Infact, she managed LESSEN the fire rape.
She now will take the blame and the burden because she loves her scaley child and he's the only one truly left that she trusts, she can't throw him under a bus, even if she's mad at him in secret for what he did.
Dany will become good guy again when Jon stabs her.
Drogon just went full nigger, like a pitbull. Notice how Greyworm did the same? Just flipped and went full pitbull?
That was D&D being subtle there by framing the two black beasts chimping out in joining scenes.
William Thompson
>overly emotional feminist coal burner is /ourgirl/ fuck off nigger
Andrew Anderson
4D chess. LF predicted this.
Joseph Cook
wouldn't that design make it harder for the arrow to penetrate deep?
Ian Mitchell
Is noone talking about how his death was even more out of character than Littlefinger‘s, his actions before it making no sense for varys because he would never be that obvious?
yeah what was up with the dragonfire being that strong that it was blasting stone buildings apart but when it hit people it just roasted them instead of slamming into them and shredding them apart.
Kevin Watson
>have a stroke >nobody dares enter your room to check on you >lie in a pool of your own urine for hours before someone finally plucks up the courage to enter your room without permission >no good doctors to help you because you gulag'd all them out of paranoia >die
Jackson Mitchell
I've seen that look irl from too many women to think its hot anymore and just feel like running away as fast as possible now
Michael Nelson
>YAS QUEEN SLAY
What, normies chicks have been saying this for years and now it's not okay?
Jason Jones
Bloodraven tweest could work well if set up He was a Targ himself
Nolan Edwards
me too
she was cute before, but never hot
Bentley Davis
Rulers have to set aside petty emotions for their ambitions, she's been fucked over by everyone so she's gone full despot.
Adam Martinez
>Absurd cruelty and psychopathy. Nah man I don't belie- >chinks Oh yup.
Jaxon Foster
D&D can't write smart characters which is why it's all been cock jokes ever since GRRM stopped helping them.
Luis Wood
Do or die time, he had found the one he wanted to rule and put all his chips in thinking Tyrion would be on board.
Ethan Myers
>Every white girl's face when the shocking realization that riding the cock carousel in her early years makes her a not-wife material. HAHAHA IT ALL FUCKING ADDS UP. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Chase Phillips
its like she was saving the keep for last so Cersi could watch her toast the civies.
Benjamin Nelson
Does the leaks mention what happens with the dragon, does anyone kill it?
Adam Russell
Sometimes you hit the wall and sometimes the wall hits you.
Bran was possessed by Bloodraven and completely mindwhiped
He warged into Drogon and burned Kings Landing while Dany couldn't stop him (Qyburn's pet turning against his orders was meant to foreshadow this)
Next episode will have a confused and scizophrenic Dany, not because she killed everyone but because "she" killed everyone. As in, her Dragon did while she was powerless to stop it while Bran enacted his dream of flying and burning the interlopers of the capital.
The reason the Night King wanted to kill Bran is because he knew this. Night King knew how powerful Bloodraven was, Bloodraven is what will be found to have caused him to become the Night King in the first place.
Night King needed all that undead power because he was literally fighting a time god. Something that can predetermine everything. He was banking on just the sheer amount of corpses and time and combination of events to cause the death of this time lord, just throw bodies at the problem.
Notice how when Night King is reaching for his sword against Bran, that he has this questioning, puzzling look on his face as if to say "....what next, Time Traveller? Have I already lost? Reaching for my sword now, seconds away from defeating you, if I play it out straight down the middle, will you see it coming?"
It's literally all a play on "subverting expectations". Night King walked through Winterfell knowing full well a stray arrow could kill him instantly, but didn't care. He decided that it may all be pre determined already, so the best method is to maybe try and do the most bog standard straight down the line thing. Walk into the place and up to the kid and hit him with your sword.
it's much better than how the show killed off the dragons
Mason Sullivan
I assume it returns to it's home planet.
Alexander Lopez
im watching this right now
why the fuck did the golden company leave the city walls to fight outside??
Dylan Turner
Pretty sure every time she burned people alive instead of just decapitating them she was on the path to crazytown.
Adrian Myers
You gotta understand the show runners are bigots >female leaders are emotional and rash >minorities just need one of their own to die in order to start rioting and raping D&D are the worst
Brody Flores
realistically probably. but it could be explained away with whatever special physics the scorpions are working on
Carter Flores
Looks neat admittedly
William Edwards
But Cersei is at best, ambivalent to them, and at worst, despises them for they way they treated her. Why would she care what happens to them? It's head-scratchingly bad writing because they want to make her a villain.
Thomas Bell
Yeah last episode they had laser computer targeting systems activated and this time it was just some guys who cant math.
Cooper Garcia
I wonder what all those turbo hipster's who named their babies Khaleesi are thinking right now?
Caleb Turner
Scorpions being a reliable way to take down fast flying dragons was always retarded, this episode showed what should really happen in that scenario. In the books only one dragon was ever shot down and it was a one in a million lucky shot through the dragons eye. Dragons are supposed to be practically invincible in the air
Ayden Thomas
its not about the people its about watching her city burn
Benjamin Taylor
Look at those fat hairy arms. Disgusting.
John Robinson
dude just turn your brain off she's CRAZYYYYY like a mad TARGARYAN remember her father he was crazy too! it's CUHRAZY BLOOD!!
Andrew Robinson
So are Cleganebowlfags at least happy? I just want to know someone is
Nolan Wilson
Ahhhahahah fucking s.o.y. boy beta faggots and their unlucky offspring. Every blue haired strok womyn is having their period right now fucking bleeding cunts.
Isaiah Watson
Right, we saw it a mile away. Surprised, faggot?
Cooper Foster
dude if i had a dragon and some prick killed it not even 10 countries is enough for a payback. the fact that dragons are basically the SSR of this world
Nathan Collins
Makes me wonder why season 8 even took place. If she was worried about people loving her she should've stayed in mehreen and lead the people there LIKE EVERYONE SAID.
If she attacked kings landing nothing would be different and the white walkers woulodn't have popped over the wall so fast. She basically, begged to get what she wanted, was told how the get what she wanted, warned NOT TO DO THE THING that would stop her from getting what she wanted and she still fucked it all up
Samuel Brown
There's no way you can actually think this will be the case. That's too much cope. One fucking episode left?
Levi Davis
I'm happy that I stopped watching after s1
Zachary Cruz
People don't think Tywin was a good guy, they think he was a good character. He filled the role of sensible bad guy winning by virtue of a willingness to commit attrocities when he needed to, but not when he didn't need to. Daenerys had won. Then she decided to burn the city to the ground.
Asher Watson
tfw waifufags seething about something everybody seen coming long ago
Jaxon Butler
holy shit you can call women "bleeders" and it's kinda also like a parody of those gays who called people "breeders" thanks user you're a genius
Bentley Cruz
i don't think people are mad about her becoming the mad just how there was literally no reason to fuck up civilians while you have cersei watching
Aiden Murphy
maybe its those people that gave her false hopes and/or and inflated ego? Maybe when they denied her her only way to cope was destroying them like she had to oppressors before. She's not mad she's an immature child throwing a tantrum perhaps?
Jaxson Bell
Faggots don't breed.
Chase Wright
that's why they were calling people "breeders" and trying to make it out to be derogatory or something. It was some weird anti natalist shit. well who cares what gays think anyway.
Noah Phillips
>The episode has received mixed reviews; on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes it has an approval rating of 48%, based on 31 reviews and an average rating of 5.79/10, with the critics consensus stating: "'Death, destruction, and the deterioration of Daenerys' sanity make "The Bells" an episode for the ages; but too much plot in too little time muddles the story and may leave some viewers –and maybe Cersei– feeling its conclusions are a little unearned." Currently, it's the lowest rated episode of the entire series.[5]
This was so fucking awkward. Jesus fucking christ like what? Why even go through all the trouble of stopping the hound with your guards when he just let you walk past him.
Precisely my point. Tywin needed to utterly break the Targaryeans, and show he was utterly opposed to Aerys, and prove his loyalty to Robert. So he sacked the capital. However, it was always for a purpose, never out of sadism or bloodlust.
Jace Miller
That is her orgasm face, protip
David Gomez
How is it not fucking obvious to you that the Hound doesn't give a flying fuck about what happens to Cersei?
I honestly fail to see why she would feel threatned by hopeless citizens screaming all over the place. If she loses empathy, why she would care in doing anything else? Didn't she lost almost everyone who loves her? What motivates her to do such a war hardship, instead of simply stoping caring about life itself, like some depressed person would do? They made the murdering look like something recklessness, but if it was done by overflowing emotion/impulse, that means she is not depressed and would still maintain empathy. (and therefore would not kill the innocent people, unless...)
Serious, her course of actions almost feels like she has brain damage at this point. Thats the most convincing answer I can think of.
They just wanted to portray her as a cold killing machine since her face wasn't even show in the whole mass murdering.
Xavier Morgan
is that not season 1?
Evan Powell
Nice fan fiction.
Michael Adams
In the previous seasons she behaved brutally because other people had things that she wanted for herself. But because these people also were card-carrying villains, she was able to reconcile her self-image with her actions, and so were her fans. If the ending of the series and what Martin planned for the books have anything in common, the fat fuck has been taking readers on an epic ruse cruise, making them root for a character who was always planned as an evil overlord in the making. D&D just disregarded all nuance and most of early hints in the process.
Isaac Collins
> Most of the people in the city weren't even born then.
